"Warning (Perception Successful): You have found a Mimic (LV10) disguised as an "Ununlocked Atlas Chest"!"

……

Mimics.

A treasure chest-like otherworldly creature that can be found throughout the continent of Aiindor, especially in the dungeons.

These abominable fellows are the natural enemies of adventurers.

Not only will they secretly swallow the spoils that belong to the adventurers, but even the adventurers themselves will not let go easily.

It is said that items that are consumed by Mimics will often be teleported to a different plane called "Chest Heaven".

A being known as the "King of the Chest" rules everything there.

Legend has it that all the Mimics in the world were crafted by the King of Chests and sent around the world through the turbulence of time and space in order to collect treasures for him.

Therefore, Treasure Chest Heaven must have accumulated wealth unimaginable to mortals over the countless years.

Many adventurers have dedicated their lives to the trail of treasure chest paradise.

Unfortunately, I have never heard of anyone succeeding.

Matthew hates Mimics the most in his life!

Not only will this thing completely destroy your joy when you encounter a lone chest in the wild.

The key is to keep you hungry!

Matthew was furious, and quietly summoned two horned demon zombies to block the retreat of the Mimic monster, and then took out the mace that originally belonged to Ederson from his bag with his backhand, and hit the Mimic monster with a mess!

Thanks to Edson's "Mace Mastery", Matthew was barely able to use it even when he lacked strength.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before the Mimic could figure out what was going on, its entire body was completely smashed!

……

"Hint: If you kill a Mimic with 'Xenoweapon: Mace', gain +1 Mace proficiency

You have obtained the loot from the Mimic's belly:

two blood-stained books;

a piece of rare metal (not identified);

1 Cloth Glove (+0.5 Partial Armor);

a small amount of gold coins;

three pieces of well-preserved sheep intestines (one end tied up, the other open);

Two phalanges that have not yet been fully digested."

……

Ignore the weird stuff.

Matthew took out the blood-stained books from the Mimic's body, and after wiping them off with a rag, the tomes were revealed.

"A Guide to Wandering in the Dark Regions", author, a black bear monster that does not eat people.

"Deep City Love Story", the author, is innocent and outstanding.

"Are the author's pen names in the Dark Regions so weird?"

Matthew flipped through it for a moment and was shocked!

"A Guide to Wandering in the Dark Regions" is okay, although the author of this book has a bad writing and the narrative is reversed, but at least it can introduce a little bit of the customs of the dark regions.

As for how much credibility there is in the customs mentioned here.

Matthew is also completely uncertain.

As for the "Deep City Love Story", it is completely outrageous!

Matthew took a cursory look at the synopsis and found that the book is in the first person, and in an autobiographical way, it recounts the ups and downs of the life of a drow girl named "Mila".

The story begins with Mira's birth, to the abuse and abuse of her mother when she was a minor, and then to the fact that she experienced several civil wars in the city as an adult, and finally she succeeded in becoming the lord of the city through various amazing tricks.

That's it for Chapter 1.

From the second chapter onwards, Matthew's skull begins to ache violently—

After becoming the lord of the city, Mira and the three male Drow fell in love with each other, and each gave birth to six daughters, and the baby boys were all drowned.

Fourteen years later, our protagonist Mira is betrayed by her eldest daughter, and the incident ends with Mira stabbing her eldest daughter.

Sixteen years later, our protagonist Mira is betrayed by her second daughter, which ends with Mira stabbing her second daughter.

Seventeen years later, before the third daughter could betray her, Mira reluctantly put an end to it.

Twenty years later, the fourth, fifth, and sixth daughters joined forces to betray, and Mira was forced to abdicate and was exiled to the "Cold Dragon Pond" along with her three harems.

Along the way, the three harems betrayed their former vows and left Mira one after another.

In the end, Mira was the only one who consciously abided by the tradition of defeat in the Dark Elf Palace Battle, and made it to the Cold Dragon Pool, the exile of Deep Bottom City, with great difficulty.

Over there.

Hungry and cold, and sealed with magical powers, Mira meets many of the drows who had previously been exiled by herself.

They abused Mira day and night.

The latter, in despair, stepped step by step to the brink of death.

It was in this process that Mira began to reminisce about her difficult life in order to relieve her pain.

"Deep City Love Story" was written by the heroine Mira in this situation.

The most outrageous thing is.

After Matthew read it in one go, he found that this is only the first half!

The end of this work is written like this-

……

"I'm probably going to die.

The lake water of Hanlongtan may not be as cold as my heart, I can't feel the slightest temperature, and my body is weak to the extreme.

I'm definitely going to die.

Because I see the shadow of death.

He has come to claim my life.

I'm finally going to die!

Belch?

Death?

How?

So gentle?

Yes?

……

Voiceover: Mira encounters the Grim Reaper when she is dying, but the Grim Reaper is unwilling to take her life, it turns out that our heroine is so beautiful that even the Grim Reaper is in love with her!

Death resurrected Mira, but he had conditions, and he wanted her to bear him many children, and all of them were boys, and they were not allowed to drown after birth—

Of course Mira wouldn't agree!

Our drow tradition is to drown newborn baby boys.

That way, only the strongest baby boy will survive, so that this waste will not waste the precious food of Deep City!

But how could she resist the power of the domineering god of death?

Poor Mira was taken by death to a mysterious palace, humiliated day and night, and gave birth to seven baby boys in three years!

These baby boys have grown up to be terrible things, and they have become the tools of the god of death to take revenge on Tianlun Palace!

After all this, Mira returns to the Deep City with the support of Death and her sons, and at this time, the Deep City is facing a great crisis under the rule of Mira's three daughters, can Mira seize the opportunity to successfully take revenge on her daughters?

Will Mira's sons spark with their sisters again?

To find out what happens next, let's look forward to the second half of "Deep City Love Story"!"

……

"Is this really something that a normal person can write?"

Matthew was deeply skeptical.

The author of this book clearly has a deep knowledge of the Deep and the customs of the Drows.

An in-depth description and analysis of the social form of the drow elves, who are dominated by women, with clans as units, and all around the main mother.

And he even knows Tianlun Palace, and many details show a good amount of knowledge.

is such a profound author, but the plot is outrageous, and the door is outrageous.

This confused Matthew.

He hesitated.

"Forget it, let's not continue to spread spiritual pollution."

A little fire lit up on his fingertips.

"Trick: Fire Tongue Technique".

Matthew rarely burns books, but this book is so rebellious that many of the descriptions make him feel his scalp tingle just by keeping it.

So he planned to burn it directly, and by the way, purify his soul.

A faint flash of fire soon engulfed the book.

A few minutes later.

"Deep City Love Story" is only a small section of the spine made of unknown materials.

"Huh?"

Matthew picked up the spine from the ground and wiped the ashes away, revealing strange runes on the spine.

"Cheats?"

Matthew was overjoyed.

……

"Hint: You found 'Pink Chapter: Confusion' (Spellbook Fragment).

You can insert this chapter into any spell book, all types can be adapted, and once charged, you can use up to three spells per day, the current spells are as follows:

Confusion: You breathe a pale pink mist from your mouth, which has a strong aroma and hormonal scent, and those who are shrouded in the fog will quickly fall into a state of confusion and mercy.

It is more effective to use it with "Love Potion" or "Love Powder".

Spell base duration: 20 minutes.

Caring: Choose a target, for three consecutive days without alarming the target, mark the opponent with a spell, from the fourth day to the forty-ninth day, you can send a magic message at a specific time, send it to the other person, and make the other person feel the warmth of care.

Note: Up to 7 targets can be "cared for" at the same time."

……

Matthew's eyes lit up!

These two spells are very good!

In the eyes of people with XX brains, confusion and care may just be some indiscriminate tricks, the former can only be used to force the opposite sex, indulge in wanton desires, and the latter can only be used to chase and beat or be a central air conditioner.

But in Matthew's eyes, the former is a close-range sneak attack magic skill, with long-term charm and control.

The latter can be used for targeted communications, or as a scare spell, which is also very nice!

The only problem is adaptability.

Although the Pink Chapter made it clear that all spell books could be inserted, he compared the size of his own Imperial Psalm and the Pink Chapter.

It's a little too much.

The Psalms are the size of a palm, and the spine of the Pinky Chapter is three to four times the size of it!

"Can this be inserted?"

Matthew gave it a try.

The fragments slowly sink into the blank space behind the Psalms.

That moment.

Matthew could clearly feel the unhappiness of guarding the Psalms.

It's struggling to resist.

But soon.

This resistance was shattered by the faint red light that emerged from the Pink Chapter.

Ultimately.

The Pink Chapter was successfully incorporated into the Psalm of the Guardian, and its size was smoothly reduced to the size of a palm.

Matthew flipped through the expansion page of the Psalm of the Guardian and found that both spells could be used at this point.

However, he didn't try to launch it, because there was no suitable target.

"The remnants of the Pink Chapter are hidden in the spine of the Love Story of Deep City, if there are many copies of this book, are there similar contents in the other books?"

Matthew suddenly became very interested in the book.

He took out The Hitchhiker's Guide to Dark Hell and removed its spine, only to find it empty.

"Looks like we'll have to wait for Layla to wake up and ask, she's from Drow in the Deep Bottoms, so she should know a little bit about this writer."

After cleaning up the things left behind by the Mimics.

Matthew orders the Horned Zombies to clean up the battlefield while pulling more undead from the ruins.

Others also took action, some helping to clean up the battlefield and others trying to find an exit.

It didn't take long.

There was another slight tremor above the cave.

The crowd changed color.

Bobo said calmly:

"Don't be afraid, it should be the aftershocks from the explosion just now, I'm very experienced in this, it's not a big problem."

Between words.

Dust and stones began to fall sparsely over the people's heads.

"It's better to find a place to hide first!"

Matthew hurriedly reminded.

At this time, the shaking above was even more violent, and the sand and ashes were all over the body.

Fortunately, the stalactites are still firmly attached to the stone wall.

After a while.

The shaking disappeared, and the dust gradually calmed down.

"Look, I'm right."

Bobo triumphantly adjusted the angle of his helmet.

Bang!

A thud rang out in her head.

A blue object jumped up from the helmet, jumped a few more times over the edge, and finally landed on the dusty ground.

"What is this?"

Bobo looked down and said in surprise:

"It's a magic crystal!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Soon, a series of voices rang out in Bobo's head.

Small stones of blue, red and yellow kept falling down.

This time, no one dodged.

Everyone looked at the sky with joy and let the stones fall on their faces!

"High purity magic crystals! Oh my God, we're going to get rich! ”

Li Weiqi said happily.

Can be a second.

He returned to his normal expression:

"No, you're going to get rich."

"These things have nothing to do with me!"

It's just that there was a little bit of frustration in his tone.

At this moment Rhaegar came over and patted him on the shoulder, and gloated:

"I understand you, this must be because Beaulong doesn't like money, don't worry, I'll take care of your share for you."

Li Weiqi gritted his teeth and said:

"Precepts!"

"This time it's because of the precepts!"

……

A sudden rain of gems enlivens the atmosphere of the squad.

Everyone packed all the magic crystals they had picked up.

Matthew and Rhaegar estimated that this small box of magic crystals could be sold for about 6,000~8,000 gold coins.

There were also two thousand on the heads of everyone present.

With the exception of Rhaeg, this is a huge sum of money for the rest of the people.

Bobo is better.

When Lumière heard that these precious stones were invaluable, his eyes lit up.

"2000 gold coins? I can buy a lot of outside stuff for my tribe! ”

He couldn't help but rub his hands.

Looked at.

Matthew simply proposed:

……

"I just had an idea about these magic crystals, and I'm about to put them into action.

If you listen to my plan and find it interesting, we will proceed with the plan.

If you want to take your share, that's fine, you can distribute it on the spot now.

My plan goes like this:

We can use the money to set up a small chamber of commerce, and the main job of the chamber is to buy some specialties and magic items from the northern cities of the Gold Coast and ship them to the familiar inland areas, such as Rolling Rock and the surrounding big cities to sell.

In the same way, we can sell things from Rolling Stones to Cordor.

The products I selected had nearly ten times the profit margins, if not more.

As long as the quantity of shipments is controlled, it will basically not affect the fluctuation of local market prices.

Therefore, it is completely feasible for us to take the route of high-end boutiques.

As for the most difficult route issues.

I basically have a coping strategy as well.

Now it only takes a nod to rank as one of the founders of this chamber of commerce.

Once the follow-up plan can be carried out smoothly.

Then in the years and decades that followed.

We will all share in the proceeds of the activities of the Chamber of Commerce based on the initial shareholding.

If the Chamber of Commerce grows bigger and stronger from now on, maybe you can enjoy other rights and interests.

Now, do you guys have any details to ask? ”

……

Matthew looked at the crowd expectantly.

"I agree!"

Bobo was the first to raise his hand:

"So I'm also a hostess now?"

Li Weiqi waved his hand:

"I don't participate in the distribution of money, nor do I participate in making money, but if your chamber of commerce is established, can you give me a position as an honorary founder?"

"If I am so poor that I have no food to eat one day, I can at least find your Chamber of Commerce to rub a little."

Rhaegar looked at Matthew meaningfully:

"How long have you been preparing for the Chamber of Commerce?"

"In principle, I have no opinion."

"But before it is established, remember to go to the city hall to make a report, Rolling Rock Town has been vigorously supporting business in the past two years, you ask Liz to help you deal with it, you can fight for at least three years of tax exemption policy."

Only Lumière looked a little indecided:

"Matthew, I want to know if it is possible to lose money if you set up a chamber of commerce?"

Matthew said seriously:

"I don't rule out the possibility of losing money, but I personally judge that the possibility of making a profit is greater."

Lumière struggled for a moment, then shook his head.

He looked at Matthew apologetically:

"I'm sorry, my tribe might need this money more right now."

"It helps us get out of the rainforest faster."

Matthew didn't force it.

He gave Lumière's share to the latter on the spot.

The rest agreed that Matthew would temporarily hold the funds in custody until the Chamber of Commerce was formally formed.

Although Lumière was reluctant to take a stake, he was interested in the activities of the chamber.

He said on the spot that after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, he would be happy to work for everyone.

The rainforest road must also be unimpeded for the people of the Chamber of Commerce.

Matthew felt that he said this out of guilt, so he laughed and skipped the topic.

"So, what do we do next?"

Bobo looked at Matthew expectantly:

"Bomb back the way you came, or go to a deeper dungeon?"

Before Matthew could reply.

Everyone sensed an anomaly coming from not far away.

"Leila?!"

I don't know when.

Leila has woken up from her coma.

Her body seemed to be suspended in the air by a force, and pieces of black grease poured out of the void, filling her torn body!

"The Twilight Creation, Gaylan, He has accepted me!"

She hung her head and muttered under her breath.

A dangerous aura spread rapidly.

……

"Warning: Your temporary companion Lyra has been chosen by 'Creation: Gaylan of Dusk' to become the 'Shadow Oathbreaker'!"

……
